Background



On November 4, 2018, JID announced the album's second single, "Off Deez", which is a hip hop song and a collaboration with J. Cole, JID previewed the song on Instagram live a few days earlier. The song was released on November 6, and was produced by ChaseTheMoney, with additional production from Dro Fe.

On November 17, in an interview, JID revealed that he originally sent the song to Kendrick Lamar before sending it to J. Cole, however due to scheduling differences, the collaboration did not happen.

Critical reception



The song received positive reviews for its rapid lyricism with Yoh Phillips of 'DJBooth' saying "Chase The Money gave J.I.D a moon bounce to jump on. This beat is so animated and fun. This rhyme pattern for the hook is a mouthful. The entire song, really. I can't imagine his fans being able to follow this scheme, but they will try and thats fun. His breath control isnt human. Cole is crazy for jumping on this." Jonah Bromwich of 'Pitchfork' said "Cole gets off a strong verse, and the song, 'Off Deez', is one of many standouts here. But you can just imagine them stepping out of booth, J.I.D pumped and ready for more; Cole relieved that he can still rap as well as his younger signee."

Music video



The music video for "Off Deez" was released on December 4, 2018, and was directed by Cole Bennett. The video features a cameo from rapper Joey Badass. 'HotNewHipHop' described it as "a perfect visual that matches the frantic energy of the song itself."
